"The protagonist, a Swiss architect named Edgar Krug, circumnavigates the globe by airship with his wife, constructing wildly
varied colored-glass buildings. His projects include a high-rise and exhibition/concert hall in Chicago, a retirement complex
for air pilots in Fiji, the structure for an elevated train across a zoological park in northern India, and a suspended residential
villa on the Kuria Muria Islands off the coast of Oman in the Arabian Sea. Fearing that his archituecture is challenged by
th colorfulness of women's clothing, Krug insists that his wife wear all gray clothing with the addition of ten percent white."--Jacket

"First published in German in 1913 and widely considered to be Paul Scheerbart's masterpiece, Lesabendio is an intergalactic
utopian novel that describes life on the planetoid Pallas, where rubbery suction-footed life forms with telescopic eyes smoke
bubble-weed in mushroom meadows under violet skies and green stars. Amid the conveyor-belt highways and lighthouses weaving
together the mountains and valleys, a visionary named Lesabéndio hatches a plan to build a 44-mile-high tower and employ
architecture to connect the two halves of their double star."--Page 4 of cover

This book is the first English translation of the German architect Bruno Taut's early twentieth-century anthology Die Stadtkrone
(The City Crown). Written under the influence of World War I, Taut developed The City Crown to promote a utopian urban concept
where people would live in a garden city of 'apolitical socialism' and peaceful collaboration around a single purpose-free
crystalline structure. Taut's proposal sought to advance the garden city idea of Ebenezer Howard and rural aesthetic of Camillo
Sitte's urban planning schemes by merging them with his own 'city crown' concept. The book also contains contributions by
the Expressionist poet Paul Scheerbart, the writer and politician Erich Baron and the architectural critic Adolf Behne. Although
the original German text was republished in 2002, only the title essay of The City Crown has previously been translated into
English. This English translation of Taut's full anthology, complete with all illustrations and supplementary texts, fills
a significant gap in the literature on early modern architecture in Germany and the history of urban design. It includes a
translators' preface, introduction and afterword to accompany the original composition of essays, poems, designs and images.
These original texts are accompanied by illustrations of Taut's own designs for a utopian garden city of 300,000 inhabitants
and over 40 additional historic and contemporary examples
